Plate G10.no10: Route 66 – USA*

There was a lot of bucket list ticking on this trek. I was seeing things I’d always wanted to see: the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, the Strip, Arizona, endless highways, the Mojave Desert, a tarantula (no kidding…one crawled through our tent site one evening…).
I did not expect however to see Route 66.
This came about purely by accident – or an act of God perhaps. Inclement weather meant we had to take a five-hour detour – and that detour took us to Route 66……
So: did I get my kicks? Damn right I did, and apparently, I ate the best hamburger in the world too!
Would I go back? Definitely…still got things to tick off: the Hoover Dam, Death Valley, Arcosanti, a decent cactus…
